v To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HANsLUMBYE and ABRAM DE BEVOISE, of Brooklyn, in Kings ggunty, and the State of New York, have invented a new and useful Cotnpotindfor Skating-fiinks and other Purposes, of which, the

"' owing is a specification.

- The principal object of our invention is to produce a compound which may be used in skating-rinks as a substitute for ice, and on whiclfpersons may skate withthe skates'which are ordinarily used on ice. Thecompound which-we produce is,however,.useful for other purposes. f f Our improvement consists in a compound composedot' soluble glass, floor-calcium asp w'bestus, paraffine, ground glass or {and etvsoa stone mixed in certain proportions hereinafter specified.

' bination,with such componnd'applied to the -,of soluble glass and a final coatingpfparafiine smoothed-down with a heated roller. The improvement also consists in the compound made of soluble glass, asbestos, and paraffine, for coating tanks, roglsand other like articles. 7 7''? 7 Incarrying out this improvement for pro- 0 ducing a. skating-surface we take of soluble lass about thirty parts, by weig t; o .'uor-calcium about ten. (10) parts, by weight; of asbestos about thirty (30) parts, byweight; 0t aramne about five (5) parts, by weight; of J 5 round [ass or fiint thirteeln (l3) pla'rts, by weight, and of soapstone 2. out twe ve (12) parts, by weigh e mix all theseingredients 0 they should be heated during this operation.

The improvement also consists in the comfloor for skaters use,'of a superposed coating together by means of any suitable mixing'ap-- paratus or paint-mill. It is not necessary that Reference BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. I

carried far enough to reducjall the ingredi- When it becomes so'cnt up as toneed dressing a heated roller is again passed over it or, if nec'essary,new coating of the solubleglass and para fi ne may be applied toit as before; i "We produ'ce a very valuable coating for tanks, roofs, and like articles by mixing to-' gether, in the manner bet'ore described, soluble glass, asbestos, and parafline in about the proportions above set forth.

What we claim as our invention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The compound made of soluble glass, fluor-calcium, asbestos, parafline, ground glass or flint, and soapstone, combined in about the proportions hereinabove set t'orth.-

' 2. The skating'surfaceconsistmgof the com- 3 pound made of soluble glass, floor-calcium, asbestus', paraffine, ground glass or flint, and

soapstone, in conjunction with a superpose d. coating of soluble glass and a coating ot palr aflEine, substantially as specified. 43
